This is quite the enjoyable read and brings back memories.

This update is hours
late although (I did post it on Aug 15th in my time zone). I
am now working over 100 hours a week at 4 jobs to pay off some debts
from job losses last year due to covid. One main job that
disappeared was as a cruise ship tour bus driver. My time for
ARC is limited, but my passion for ARC is still very strong.
Sadly the advertising revenue from this website only covers server
fees each month, so I really need to focus on earning money from
real jobs for now.

Happy Indian Independence Day to Indians everywhere, Jai
Hind
|
|
|
Tom Thounaojam starts this special Indian update with his
flawless 1/72 Zvezda Su-30MKI . Tom converted it to

standard. This is a sleek looking jet.
|

|
|
|
Tom Thounaojam had a challenging time building his 1/72 Zvezda Mil Mi-26
during covid restrictions. But custom mixing paints and
other old school trick got the job done and he now has a very
attractive Indian Mi-26 in his display collection.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Murli Rajan also joins us on the Indian Independence Day with
his 1/72 Frog English Electric Canberra B(1). Murli

indeed. |
|
|

|
 |
Tom Thounaojam is here with a classic jet. This is his
1/72 RV Aircraft MiG-21 with unique tail art custom painted on

markings. |

joins us today with a great looking SAR Sea King in Royal Norwegian
Air Force markings. This is his 1/48 Hasegawa Sea King
with some well thought improvements and finished as one of the
few Sea Kings still flying in Norway. Micheal created a snow
diorama base which suits a
Norwegian (at least in the winter). Beautifully done Michael..

Rafi
Ben-Shahar has done a first class job building his
1/72 Revell Dassault (Breguet) Atlantic "Italian Eagle". Rafi
chose the very cool looking "Italian Eagle" and finished
it with the gentle touch of weathering. Rafi has included some
helpful hints if you plan to build the
1/72 Revell Dassault (Breguet) Atlantic. Very nicely done Rafi.

Christos
Papadopoulos has done excellent work super detailing 1/48
Eduard Bf 109F-2 complete with the Eduard engine set. Christos
has added quite alot of detail to his 109 and finished it in a

weathering. I very much enjoyed seeing this 109.

built this big and highly detailed 1/32 Kitty Hawk T-28D Trojan

into this T-28 and you will see that in the wonderful detailing as
well as the expertly finished weathering. Markings are for the
Royal Thai Air force.
